Braves owner Liberty Media disclosed the team’s second-quarter financial results Monday, revealing dramatic losses that underscore the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the sports and live-events industries.
The Braves’ revenue plunged 95% in the April-through-June quarter, compared with the same period a year ago, falling from $208 million to $11 million. The team posted an operating loss before amortization and depreciation of $26 million for the quarter, compared with a profit of $62 million in the same period last year.

But when you stack "woke"ness on top I fear this great American cultural institution is on the verge of collapse.
Good
I hope the wntire mlb fails and nba fails completely
Get woke go broke
Agreed. Get woke, go broke.
The problem, or one of their problems, is lack of paying fans. Make those cardboard cutouts pay admission.
How did that kneeling thingy work out for you?
This die-hard baseball fan has not so much as checked a score or a highlight reel. No radio, no tv, no internet attention whatsoever.
I figure baseball has to be destroyed to save it.
But at least they can be proud of their social justice virtue on display for all to see.
Can’t seem to find any sympathy.
Big tax write off for them anyway.
Anyone know if MLB gets stimulus $.
Dear MLB, apologise for pandering to Left Wing bullies and I’ll consider taking you seriously. Until then, stick yer bats where the sun don’t shine.
But but but black lives mater more than paying customers. Everyone kneel for the national anthem. If you have an American flag, feel free to blow your nose, wipe your ass. Just don’t tie a pull down loop in the cord.
I have a love/hate relationship with my team, the Braves. They are world class chokers and losers. They promoted their gm to team president after he destroyed the team with ghastly trades. They honor a manager who won 15 straight division titles and choked every time but one. They left TBS to make viewers pay to watch them.
But this new style of PC baseball is the end for me. They can die the death, hopefully soon.
MLB and NFL need to come out and fire all white people for the white privilege they have had.
I just check standings for now
Come September I’ll pay some attention
In the bay. The As are good and the giants suck
Expect similar numbers across the league and baseball is likely losing $1bil per quarter compared to last year.
$2bil for the season PLUS all the playoff/series TV revenue.
I will take a knee and laugh.
When Kobe Bryant died, the NBA died. They ought to just chain closed the city parks now and save money.
No joke
Gosh, it couldn't have anything to do with "get woke, go broke"...
Good
I hope the entire mlb fails and nba fails completely.
Just add the National Felon League to this woke reality!
